Rules:
1. We are well prepared for class.
2. We respect the space and property of others.
3. We are considerate in language and actions.
4. We will not prevent the teacher from teaching or students from learning.
Observation:
The class was currently working on the water cycle and have moved onto clouds, types of precipitation, and weather. The class was given a worksheet that they had been working on in the previous class. Students were allowed to work independently on their work, and when they were finished, a newer worksheet was passed out and the individual paragraphs were rerad out loud by the students. Questions were asked by Mrs Arcand, and students answered. Mrs Arcand had the students cite the sentence and paragraph of where the answers were found in the text next to the question. This made the students have to work harder in finding the answer instread of just copying their neighbor's work. As the students finished questions Mrs Arcand would ask the question and ask for a set of hands of the students who agreed, those who didnt were made to find the answer as the others who got it right did. This ensured that every student had a documented right answer and a great study guide.
Reflection:
Mrs Arcand is very organized and her students know it. She is very knowledgable and her students also realize this. Rules are displayed in an obvious place, and are constantly reminded when a rule is broken. The students follow the rules because they are neforced. Mrs Arcand has some co-teaching responsibilities, and is a good co-teaching teacher, but I can tell she is best suited doing her own thing in the classroom. She makes sure all of her students know that they have to write down the work for the day and the homework for the night in their planner. It is obvious that she is teaching organizational skills and providing them a routine that they wiull hopefully take with them into further schooling. AT the end of class, the students have to organize all of their belongings in an orderly fashion, push their chairs in and wait patiently before being dismissed as a group (group seating in classroom of 4-5 students at 4 tables put together). Mrs Arcand runs an efficient classroom and is built on respect, organization, and preparedness.
